    Fortnightly

  • Description:

    The club welcomes both novice and experienced birdwatchers on its all-day visits to reserves throughout East Anglia, and its occasional Zoom lectures. Day trips take place every other Friday in term time; we meet beforehand for coffee at or near the venue. Car sharing is encouraged, with passengers sharing travel costs. Sometimes overnight visits are arranged in the UK. Social events include occasional club lunches and a coffee morning for new members before the autumn term. We are keen to share our knowledge and enthusiasm, and we have a buddy scheme for new joiners. The programme is sent out before the start of each term. The annual subscription of £2 per member, to cover administration costs, must be paid on application. Some reserves charge an entry fee if you are not a member of the organisation that runs it, e.g. RSPB, and there may be parking charges.
